FOOD DONATIONS
We are focusing on nutrient-dense, shelf-stable foods that offer a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. These options ensure women and children stay fueled and nourished during the summer, without requiring constant refrigeration.
Proteins & Healthy Fats
Canned Tuna, Salmon, or Chicken: Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, these are perfect for quick summer salads or sandwiches.
Nut Butters: Peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter provide sustained energy and pair well with shelf-stable crackers.
Canned Beans & Lentils: Excellent sources of plant-based protein and fiber. Stock up on black beans, chickpeas, and lentils.
Vitamins & Nutrients (Pantry-Friendly)
Dried or Freeze-Dried Fruit: Naturally sweet, high in fiber, and great for kids on the go. Look for unsweetened options like mangoes, apples, or raisins.
Canned Vegetables: Canned tomatoes, green beans, and corn provide essential vitamins and pair perfectly with outdoor meals.
Unsalted Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds are highly nutrient-dense and are great grab-and-go snacks.
Complex Carbohydrates
Rolled Oats: An incredibly versatile whole grain that provides long-lasting energy.
Whole Grain Crackers & Pasta: Shelf-stable carbohydrates that serve as a great base for meals.
Heat caution: Avoid snacks with chocolate, as it will melt in high summer temperatures.
